So nice seeing you...<i>(Sorry about the late comment)</i><br /><br />So nice seeing your locust in bloom ! I (unknowingly) found a Black Locust sapling and planted it in the yard to see what I would be. It got so big, so fast, I had to take it down. Never did get to see the bloom. :(<br /><br />I'm sorry about your Wisteria. I acquired one last year and hope all goes well. Eleven years to see a plant bloom is a mighty long wait ! Will take all the wonderful advice left in these comments with me.miss mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779663826025791655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-49889681428249168232009-05-16T19:42:00.000-04:002009-05-16T19:42:00.000-04:00As always a wonderful postAs always a wonderful postJoe Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960458164425338569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-67177535940148792862009-05-16T15:19:00.000-04:002009-05-16T15:19:00.000-04:00Thank you!

I've been told that sometimes you can shock a wisteria into blooming by taking a shovel a foot from the plant and cutting the roots...I haven't tried that one! I find them too aggressive in my middle south garden...and they run over everything.<br /><br />GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-28190926504285742842009-05-16T08:13:00.000-04:002009-05-16T08:13:00.000-04:00Thanks for showing the Honey Locust in bloom.

Or maybe I should say UPstanding tree. It grows pretty tall. There is a mighty specimen growing along one of the bike trails we frequent and the buzz of happy bees is really something. <br /><br />Wisteria: I'm no expert but I have heard that if your plant was a seedling, (as opposed to a graft or cutting) it will take many years for it to bloom. Also pruning needs to occur early so the plant has time to develop latent buds for the following spring. In other words, it blooms on old wood and if you prune too late, you'll take all of the buds. You may already be aware of this and the darn thing is still giving you grief. Plants can be so stubborn sometimes. But the leaves are pretty back lit by the sun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-17849448489965069312009-05-15T22:48:00.000-04:002009-05-15T22:48:00.000-04:00Lona, these blooms are stunning!

Just type "why wisteria doesn't bloom". They mention a type of wisteria, fertilizing, pruning, etc. Good luck!Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-30665293677251335762009-05-15T22:06:00.000-04:002009-05-15T22:06:00.000-04:00Eleven year old Wisteria - that is like a teenager...Eleven year old Wisteria - that is like a teenager.
